1.) Pick the right brand (the SPIRES brand). Meticulously hand-rolled tobacco to deliver key ingredients for the receipt of perfect happiness.
2.) Understand there is no right or wrong time to smoke your luxurious cigar. Some individuals are morning smokers, some mid day, and some evening. It’s best to choose a time that allows you to indulge in delight.
3.) Choose the right cigar cut. There are four types of cigar cuts; the guillotine (a straight cut across the cigar), the punch (a small circular incision), the “V” (a v-shaped wedge that is angled at 45 degrees each side) and the pierce (small hole[s]). Each cut has benefits and drawbacks however depending on the size of the cigar and its strength the cut should vary. Broadly speaking, the cut will influence the draw and taste.
4.) Keep the band on. If you take the band off you risk unintentionally ruining the cigar wrapper. Additionally, being prideful about the brand you choose shows your high standards and good taste.
5.) Use wooden matches or a butane lighter. Using cardboard matches and/or lighter fluid from a lighter introduces chemicals, why ruin such a natural and wholesome experience?
6.) Light smarter. As you light your cigar keep it at a 45 degrees angle just above the flame (this is the hottest point). There is no need to torched the cigar foot, you’ll burn your cigar. Rotate the cigar as you light it to engage the entire foot surface (or else you’ll end up “canoeing” or not fully lit). Once it’s fully lit, take a few draws to release the sweet aromas and delicious tastes of the various tobacco leaves.
7.) Indulge in delight.
